@lewys-gp I really enjoyed reading Mythos.  It flows extremely well and you can almost hear Stephen Fry talking as you read it. Having @Mi-Amigo bring it back to my mind yesterday made me go and pick it up again to read.

It is written well and the stories really flow from one to the other.  Especially love the story of Kronos (Cronos) how he ate his kids and then Rhea and Zeus tricked him into swallowing a stone rather than Zeus, so he vomited up his children he had swallowed.  Kronos and Zeus appear in so many modern stories, was great to understand how they came to be in the mythology.

So yes, I would recommend.

Late to the game @RafaC but still in the game!
